19 Chapter 19
Zephyr and the Demonized Kobold King dashed at the same time. The sounds of clashing were constantly heard as their weapons clashed at each other.
Zephyr deflected every attack of the heavy axe and at the same time, the Demonized Kobold King blocks Zephyr's attacks. Suddenly, the Demonized Kobold King shifted his position as he slashed his axe, targeting Zephyr's neck.
Zephyr ducks, sensing the cold feeling in his neck, making the attack miss. Zephyr also didn't miss the gap and struck the knees of the Demonized Kobold King.
The Demonized The Kobold King leaps off into the air, avoiding his sword. Seeing it in midair, Zephyr then used one of his skills that was lethal on the demonkin.
[Hell Fire]
[You have dealt 10,560 damage to the target.]
[Hell Fire Lv.1]
Rating: Legendary
[Cast and summon the flames of hell. It burns and purifies evil beings. The damage dealt to the enemy is proportional to the caster's magic power power.]
Kuhhah!
The Demonized The Kobold King let out a scream of pain as if he felt his whole existence was being erased. Purification. Zephyr did not dally as he launched [Lightning Flame Slash] together with [Fire Bolt].
[You have dealt 1,350 damage to the target.]
[You have inflicted 'Hydra's Poison' to the target.]
[The target will lose 10% HP per second for 10 second.]
[You have dealt 1,480 damage to the target.]
[You have inflicted stun for 2 seconds.]
After stunning the Demonized Kobold King, Zephyr launched a combo attack as he didn't miss the gap. Zephyr immediately used [Fire Storm] and [Illusionary Sword] while the Demonized Kobold King was incapable of moving.
The rain of fire and six sword attacks bombarded the Demonized Kobold King as he let out a scream, unable to endure the pain. When he was hit by a rain of fire, it burned him fiercely, and Zephyr's sword slashed where the burns were causing critical damage.
As the Demonized Kobold King began to recover, Zephyr then used [Paralysis Bite], making it unable to move again for 5 seconds.
[Venomous Demon Sword's option effect is activated, causing the skill 'Paralyzing Bite' to be generated.]
[You have inflicted stun for 5 seconds.]
[Giant's Strength has been Activated.]
[Your strength stat has increased.]
Zephyr let out all his skills as he also used [Giants' Strength]. Together with Tetsuya's buff, Zephyr's strength increased exponentially. Zephyr slashed with [Vorpal Destruction] and was followed by [Saint's Sword Dance] as he constantly cast a series of [Fireball].
During those 5 seconds, the Demonized Kobold King experienced hell. It's HP was reduced to 4%. Zephyr was amazed at how amazing his sword was as it began to show its true value.
Zephyr knew his damage should not have made it to 4% HP left. The reason is his legendary sword. Its damage isn't its purpose. It's the poison that makes the enemy lose 10% HP per second.
The Venomous Demon Sword shows its true value when fighting an enemy with massive HP. As long as they were inflicted with the Hydra's Poison, they would lose 10% of their total HP in every second.
What does that mean? It means that if the enemy possessed a total of 1 million HP, Zephyr could deal 100,000 damage per second. If the enemy is not resistant to poison, it's guaranteed they can't last for 10 seconds at all.
It is one of the reasons Hydra's Poison was feared throughout Tensura, as there is no known antidote once it has infected the target. Zephyr thought that Lady Luck was totally lifting her skirt, allowing him to see her panty as he possessed a broken legendary weapon, which should not exist in the early stages of the game.
He then remembered that the restricted level was level 70 but he was exempted from it as he was the Sword Saint. Zephyr quickly erased the thought from his mind and retreated, narrowly avoiding the ferocious axe aimed at his face.
When the Demonized Kobold King leaps off into the air, it's fate has been sealed. The demonized Kobold King was so enraged at the thought of losing without dealing a single hit on Zephyr.
It was humiliated as it prided itself on being the best because it was an epic boss. However, before he could attack again, the Demonized Kobold King started to fall down as if it died, as it was still affected by the Hydra's Poison, draining the remaining HP to zero.
[The target has died.]
[7,800 experience has been acquired.]
[You has acquired 200 silver.]
[The title 'One who Overcome the Adversity' has been acquired!]
[You have acquired Demonized Kobold King's Battle Axe.]
[Level Difference of 15. Exp gain multiplied to 1,500%]

[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your...]
[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]
[Your pet 'Tetsuya's level has risen.]
[Your...]
Due to gaining a massive amount of experience points, Zephyr and Tetsuya leveled up until level 25. Zephyr then looked at the gains he obtained.
[One who Overcome the Adversity]
[Given to those who overcame the challenge with almost zero odds and emerge victorious.
* All stats 50+.
* HP 150%+.
* MP 100%+.]
Zephyr was left confused why he had obtained the title, as it was mentioned for someone who overcame an impossible challenge. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he remembered that he had just defeated a Tier 1, level 35 Epic Boss, which could be considered impossible to beat by the current players.
However, for him, who can be considered way above the other players, it was hardly a challenge at all.

Zephyr tossed the axe into his inventory as he continued exploring the ruins. Arriving at a corner, Zephyr could see so many murals. Zephyr was amazed as even though the ruins were on the verge of collapse, as they had existed for a long time, the murals were still very clear.
Zephyr watched the murals with curiosity as he could see they were delivering a message. Suddenly, a video appeared in front of him.
Zephyr saw a war among humans and many other races facing the same thing—demons. Human forces were being overwhelmed by the forces of demons as they were stronger.
Zephyr saw the carnage of war, and the faces of despair of humans were seen. Humans let out their best. They unleashed their ultimate spells.
An old man summoned a meteor out of magic, squashing the forces of demons. He let out barrages of high-level magic. He simultaneously cast spells and shockwaves of explosions were seen everywhere.
However, the old man's efforts were not enough. The number of demons was overwhelming for him to handle alone. As he was about to resign to his fate, someone appeared.
It was a swordsman. He was fast and he was strong. He cut down demons in his path. Every swing of his sword slashed the demons. Swords were flying around him as he controlled the swords hitting the demons.
Screams of demons were heard, as they couldn't believe there was a human who was this strong. Then demons with a much stronger aura than the other demons appeared in front of the man. The Demon Kings, The rulers of the demon world who commanded all demons.
They stood in front of the man and attacked him. However, they were overpowered by him. He cut their limbs as he killed them, making the Demon Kings let out a scream as they returned to the Demon World.
The video ended there, but Zephyr managed to guess the identity of the swordsman. He then mumbled softly.
'The Sword Saint.'
He was amazed at how the Sword Saint was able to beat the Demon Kings, who were the pinnacle of the Demon World. He could also guess the identity of the old man who supported the human army.
'The Legendary Archmage.'
He was able to see the full capability of the Legendary Archmage, as one spell was enough to obliterate thousands of demons at once. Zephyr could tell that he was just being overwhelmed as he prioritized protecting his allies more than focusing on dealing with the demons.
Zephyr then moved to the next part of the mural, which is on the opposite side of the wall. There's no video that followed, but Zephyr could guess what the mural is all about.
The demons were trying to come back to the mortal world after many years had passed. Demons were long-lived races, unlike humans. Zephyr could tell they had waited a long time to avoid the Sword Saint and return after he had died.
Zephyr could also guess that this demonic energy is one of the signs that they are creating a portal to connect the demon world and the mortal world. A notification appeared after Zephyr came to a conclusion.

Zephyr smirked at the 3 quests that appeared in front of him. He did not expect that he would encounter the main scenario quest here. He thought that the Atlas Corps were savages as they really hid it in a place that was out of reach of the players.
Zephyr thought that if the players came here, they would experience massive debuffs and get weakened, resulting in their being annihilated by the Demonized Kobolds.
Not to mention the Demonized Kobold King. Zephyr also didn't expect both his class quests to be the same as the main scenario quest.
He thought that the penalty was the same as saying he would cripple his account if he failed the quests. Zephyr sighed as he totally had no interest in doing those troublesome things like saving the world, as he did not want to do any of that as it would only tire him out.
But seeing that he would only be disadvantaged if he ignored the quests, Zephyr then thought of something else.
'3 birds in 1 stone'.
If he completed the quests, he would obtain 3 different rewards and gain a lot. He also thought he might witness something interesting or if it was interesting to hunt the Demon God's followers.
Zephyr then took a breath and patted the little kyuubi while talking to Tetsuya.
"It seems like we have to hunt some psychopaths. Right, Tetsu? "
Zephyr said to Tetsuya, as he was starting to look forward to it. Tetsuya also thought the same, as he could have his chance to fight and prove himself to Zephyr.
Just like that, the demise of the Demon God's followers and demons was destined as if it were written in stone.
